On Saturday, August 27, at 12:20PM, two teams enter but only one will be crowned the ultimate survivor. That’s right, we’re hosting a game show with lots of prizes that will make you just glow inside and out. Upside down, too, and yes, this one’s for all you competitive types.

Vegan Battle Royale will be comprised of two teams with six people per side, and the participants will be drawn randomly from a hat, or an empty potato chip bag. Whichever smells best. We’ll also be selecting audience members at random to answer trivia and dares, so even if you don’t get picked for a team, we’ll still have something for every single one of you. To keep all tongues and bellies paying attention, we’ll be flinging homemade baked goods at the audience—so there’s always a chance to catch a tasty xgfx sammich cookie in exchange for your super-smarts!

The competition will incorporate elements from a bunch of well-known game shows and will include trivia, bravery, dares, taste challenges, basic vegan blog knowledge, and more. If you want a chance to participate, bring your smartie pants and don’t be late! We only have an hour for this shin-da-bing, so prompt arrival is recommended.

This wouldn’t be as fun without prizes, so we’re super thankful to the following people and companies for their generous donations/contributions. Here’s a sampling of what we’ll be giving away:
